Hi Jamel! I can't place this in the comments (it disappears), so I'll try here! Did you know that Metallica invited The Warning and 52 other artists to edit a commemorative album for the 30th anniversary of their Black Album? The Warning will be doing a remake of "Enter Sandman", a song they covered seven years ago when they were kids and went viral, having now about 22 million views on KZbin! The Warning has a new album recorded and has released two new singles, with the latest "Evolve" already out last Friday. This band (three sisters from Monterrey-Mexico) is ensuring that Rock and Roll will stay alive, and will have a following in the new generations. Please check them out. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZC1c2Oqh65paJY Greetings from Portugal!

[@weray7605]

The Ultimate 'artist-on-the-road' song, greater than "Leaving on a Jet Plane" (J. Denver) or "Turn the Page" (B. Seger) or "On the Road Again" (W. Nelson) or ANY of them, including Metallica's "Wherever I May Roam" is Jackson Browne's masterpiece, "Load Out"! If you haven't yet reacted to it, here it is: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKbOp5mhbsZpqLs ....No need to have the lyrics out for this one, like a Harry Chapin song, it's perfectly easy to get every drop of poetry with just your ears open.

[@user-nb2xs3ss1g]

Love this Metallica song. Thanks for the reaction. Killer intro, eh? Request: Headlong Flight by Rush (studio album version). Off their last album - you love Rush and you won’t be disappointed.

I literally wore this cassette out when I was a kid because of this song. Anyone remember anxiously sitting by your boombox, with a blank tape, waiting for your favorite songs to come on the radio and trying to record them right at the beginning?

[@kimberlypillman2983]

Wow…now THAT is a memory! And hoping the DJ wouldn’t talk so long into the song. 🎵 Good memory there Kris! 😁

[@hoopsmccann639]

hell yeah, kris! we didn't have cable til about the mid-90's so my sister and i had saturday night radio night where we recorded songs onto blank cassettes. i think we kept memorex in business. haha

[@stevegeib9642]

The struggle was real, my friend! And well worth it!

[@billbrasky1288]

Sometimes I got lazy and just recorded a block of songs. Then convince myself it was the songs I wanted.

[@beachgirl4583]

Why not just buy the album? Blank cassette tapes were for making mixed tapes, or recording your friends’ bands playing live.

[@johnschaeffer7008]

Even though Enter Sandman and Sad But True generally get the attention on the Black Album, Wherever I May Roam is my favorite track off the record. And the riff is 10 times nastier

[@SciPunk215]

Jamel has hit a LOT of Metalica on this channel. It's greatly appreciated! Yet somehow he keeps missing "Seek & Destroy"... the ultimate headbanging tune.

[@beachgirl4583]

That was the first Metallica tune I heard on the radio. It’s pretty epic.

[@matthewdrake4385]

And they still play it. About the only song from Kill Em All they still play.

[@TheRobe-]

I think Whiplash was my intro to Metallica

[@dalefleming6427]

My favorite lyric was "Carved upon my stone, my body lies, but still I roam" a spiritual aspect of the song.

[@gandinisebastien9353]

Unquestionably, "Wherever I may roam" is my favorite song of the Black Album. The very first time I saw the video clip on MTV, it blew my mind, I never get tired of listening to it!!! That song kicks ass! Fist up in the air ✊✊!! Metal greetings from Crete, Greece 🤘🤘👊👊

this is the album that started the downward descent... Ride the Lightning or Master of Puppets would be tied for best album. the black album is within arms reach, but third.

[@okaight7248]

I used to hate on this album because I prefer their 80's stuff, but the more I've seen people react to this stuff on youtube it makes me realize how powerful of an album it is and how much I overlooked it because it was "commercial". They were able to still make super chunky metal tracks but have it be written well enough that the entire planet could absorb and enjoy it. Legendary move.

[@willk1756]

Roam is the definitive black album era track. It encapsulates the scope of Metallica's sound at that time and parallels the epic tour schedule they had between 91-93.

[@stevepence229]

Outstanding choice Jamel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Draug.gaabriel]

In the tour of Black Album, they were touring for 2 years straight. I can't imagine been 2 years traveling around the world and playing almost every weekend. By the way, you need to watch more of them live, especially in the old concerts like the Seattle 89' legendary gig.

[@tallycahamuhlhetru26]

And when Metallica was about to wrap up TBA tour, another leg had been booked throughout Asia for nearly another year. 🤘

[@trevorjames6185]

I was surprised that you hadn't done this one before.

Metallica is BREATHTAKING in concert. Thank you 💖

[@francisduffy8250]

There's a version of this with the San Francisco orchestra the first one they did, I think you'd like it jamal

[@Belgereth75]

This is one of those songs that talks straight to my soul. Sounds cliché? Maybe, but I get goosebumps every time I hear it.

[@Bad_Wolf_Media]

This song will inspire an entire generation of grave markers in decades to come. "Carved upon my stone - 'My Body Lies, but Still I Roam'"

[@ksoliel9347]

This song has always made me wonder what I'd want carved upon my stone, (although I'm donating myself to science &/or a spec. forensics school, ...seriously!:) But I'd definitely want to say something "interesting", I'd likely put there, ... "I now know what happens to us after we die!!!!"😊 🗺️🕊️💓🎶

[@skatzoheros9]

The black album of metallica was my favorite , not only they matured musicly the lyrics of this album in most songs was spot on . Some of them you can even tell from their titles. The unforgiven, The God that failed , My friend of misery, Nothing else matters. Peace brother. Helios from Greece.

[@adamstewart4008]

This was my theme song when I worked as a traveling trainer and supervisor for 3 years on the road. I never get tired of Metallica!
